The Kornhausplatz is a plaza in the Old City of Bern, the medieval city center of Bern, Switzerland. It is on the edge of the Zähringerstadt which was built during the founding of the city in 1191, though the plaza wasn't built until later. It is located near the Kornhausbrücke and the Zytglogge clock tower. It is part of the UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Site that encompasses the Old City.
Kornhausplatz was originally the ditch around the first city wall. Following the Great Fire of 1405 the ditch was filled in to form a plaza. For about three centuries, it was known as Platz . In 1545 or 1546 the Kindlifresserbrunnen was built by Hans Gieng in place of a wooden fountain on the Platz. Originally it was known as Platzbrunnen , though the current name was used first in 1666.
